Fermín Fevre - Marcela Pittner
Looking upwards
Marcela Pittner’s paintings make us look upwards, towards the domes of Buenos Aires, with their cherubs and weather-vanes; their crosses and their belfries. Day skies and nights skies show out in them, too. Hers is not the usual way of looking at things: we are trapped in the troublesome density of the city and plunged into its labyrinths of flatness.

Art tries to present us with another reality: a more diaphanous and exalted one, in this case; a look
that rises above the oppressive blocks of urban architecture, which are, in their turn, an extension of
those in ourselves. It is in this thematic concern of this artist that we find an existential metaphor
complete in itself. Looking upwards means overcoming everyday contingency and searching for
higher horizons. More

"It was one of those days, it was about to snow. That electricity, which you could almost listen to, was felt in the air, do you recognize it? And that plastic bag was…dancing with me. It was like a child begging me to play with him. It lasted fifteen minutes.
It was that day when I realized all that life that exists behind things, and a force incredibly benevolent made me know that there is nothing to fear about; never.
Sometimes there is so much beauty in the world; I feel I cannot take it…and then my heart is about to collapse." More
